It is the season to start filling your house with the lovely smells of cookies and other baked goodies :)
I have the sweetest image for my project this week! It is right up my alley as I love to bake. I couldn't decided what sentiment to use as two of them come with this adorable image. I decided to use the sarcastic one in honor of my Dad and his jokes about my baking.

The cute image is from Stitchy Bear's Digi Outlet. It is called BakedLove.For my project this week, I made a recipe box with recipe cards inside. What a great gift it would make for passing your favorite family recipes.

On the box, I used paper from American Craft's Hot Cocoa paper stack. I used a Martha Stewart border punch along the top and cut a few extra strips from the patterned paper for the top and bottom of the box. Next, I added some white and brown rik rak. The dividers inside the box were cut from red file folders I had in my stash... edged with Distress Ink. I topped them with a tiny tag (Stampin'Up) and a button with twine.

I colored the image with watercolor pencils and fussy cut around it. I popped up the mixing bowl and the little measuring spoons.

Close-up of the sentiment... I punched out the sentiment with a label punch from EK Success and stuck it on with a little red pearl.

Where does the time go?!! I can't believe that it is October already! It is just like overnight that the cool weather has begun. I do like the cozy side of fall with all the pretty colors, cozy sweaters and blankets to snuggle in though :)

My project this week is a little gift bag. I thought I would get away from my usual suspects for color and go with a fall theme this time. I am really pleased at how it turned out! I hope you like it!

The paper is from Bo Bunny.

I printed her on mixed media paper and water colored her with Distress Markers and a waterbrush. I added a thin line of glue over her pearls and added fine gold glitter.

Behind the flowers, I added some loose burlap ribbon and added a bit or lace to the top (died with Distress Stain). The flowers are die-cut using Heartfelt Creations Delicate Asters die set. I added some brown beads in the centers. I

I used a border punch from EK Success for the edge of the flap and for the tag. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, and attached it with some thick twine.

Hi I am Wendy Burns I live in Nottingham UK with my husband
and two children who have been the inspiration behind the characters, in
particular my daughter who has kept me up-to-date with blogging and
trends. I work predominantly within the textile children’s wear market,
fashion and interiors.

I trained as a textile designer and although my work is
digital based, I love to retain that hand drawn/ sewn feel which I hope comes
across in my artwork.

Digital stamps is a new challenge for me and the opportunity
to work with the All Dressed Up Team and has been very exciting, in particular
the creative way my characters have been given individual personalities by the
designers.

All Dressed Up is a newly
launched blog with an enthusiastic team who are passionate about
stamping. The coordinators Anne Lise and Bettina along with an amazing
design team are also known as The Dressy Girls.

We have a friendly Facebook
page, regular blog posts, tutorials, challenges and freebies .The stamps
can be purchased from the Etsy shop which
is updated on a monthly basis.
